36" Aqualife Pro Thoughts...
Hey,
I'm thinking about getting an Aqualife Pro for my 36" tank. Has anyone used it? My concern is that the tank will be lit unevenly as there is only 1 center mounted MH bulb. Any thoughts on this fixture? The good the bad and the ugly? Thanks!

Yeah check the thread out, read up on it before you go through with it. I thought because it's such a great fixture , all in one.. that I would be super happy with it. But unfortunately I'm not completely satisfied. As for the spotlight look, if you can hang your fixture, that would lessen the spotlight appearance IMO.. but I still think you'd see it a bit. I don't have this problem because my tank is only 24" long and like, 15" deep or something like that...

What don't you like about the fixture? I've read that thread, but it doesn't really talk about the spotlight effect. So it does happen (the bright middle) section. Does anyone have any tank shots of this?

I have 2 FTS in my thread : http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25557
I don't know if it really shows much of the spotlight look, this is a standard 20g tank though. I'm sure it would be more noticeable on a larger tank... you can somewhat see a spotlight effect in the picture. edit: sorry forgot to answer your question. What I don't like about the fixture, is the fact that I have no open top, I really love to be able to work in my tank without hassle. It becomes a huge pain. Adding top-off water is a PAIN (daily chore) because I have to take the fixture off every time to dump the water in. I don't like the fact that because my tank is so shallow and because I have the 150w HQI and actinics, it is all too much light and gives my water a cloudy effect (may not be like this for you.... ) There are a few drawbacks for me

I have the 48" with 2 250 watt HQI's and love it. (This probably doesn't help you though. Sorry.)
